Dodge and our pug, Chevy, both think that if Dad is not there when we go to bed, that it isn't really bedtime. Instead, they think it is playtime. So, I spend a lot of my night trying to get them to stop wrestling on top of me. I guess we all know who lets the puppies get away with more . . .

We got two kittens this past weekend to keep outside for mouse control. They have made our front porch their home. Well, they are scared of Dodge. Everytime I open the door to let him outside, they hiss and bat their paws at him. He hasn't done anything to them. I think they are just scared...

He can see out of the front and two windows on the side, but it is definitely more enclosed than the wire one. I would've brought his old kennel back into the house except that I am pregnant and cannot be lifting heavy things. If he still seems scared tonight, we might have to bring the wire...

I bought Dodge a new kennel last night. I decided to get a plastic one this time, instead of a wire one. The reason for this is that I am hoping it will contain the boxer hair a little more than the open wire kennel. Anyway, I feel so bad because Dodge was very afraid of the new kennel this...

When we are leaving for a longer than normal period of time we move our dogs' cages from our bedroom to the kitchen. This is so that when grandma and grandpa come let them out and feed them they don't have to go through the whole house. Dodge has learned what this means, and refuses to get...

Dodge did that once when he was a couple of months old. Only he was laying on me!!! He never did it again. I would keep a close eye on him, and if it continues to happen go to the vet. Or if it makes you feel better, call the vet and see what they say.

Makes me want another boxer for my boy Dodge to play with! Both of your babies are adorable.

My boxer has never destroyed anything too expensive. A couple of pairs of shoes and a pair of slippers and some dog toys. But my pug has eaten 3 or 4 remote controls, two pairs of eye glasses, and 3 pairs of leather boots!!!!! Of course, they were both forgiven for everything. They are so...

Check out the boards on www.pugvillage.com. Pug owners are just as passionate about pugs as boxer owners are about boxers. I should know. I have one of each. These two breeds of dogs have the most personality that I have ever seen in dogs.

I've been curious about this also. I think some key things you would need would be: A tall fence. Kennels to keep dogs in in case of fights between animals. Somewhere to take the dogs indoors during bad weather (there is a place near my home that has a big Morton building where the dogs...

Thanks for all of the advice. I would love for Dodge to sleep with my husband and I, but we only have a full size bed and our 2 year old pug is already accustomed to sleeping in the bed. I know there isn't room for all four of us. Besides my husband isn't able to get much sleep in with Chevy...

Dodge is almost 6 months old and I still put him in his crate at night to sleep. I did this at first to give him a place to feel safe in and to keep my house safe from him : ) (I'm a pretty hard sleeper and wouldn't wake up if he started getting mischevious). I would really like for Dodge to...

I haven't had my little Dodge for very long, but I look forward to experiencing all of these things. The only thing I have "named" are his kisses. He gets his tongue going so hard and fast that it makes a "blup, blup" noise as it comes up and hits his nose. Instead of asking him for kisses, I...
